“Receiving the Diana Award has encouraged our students to continue their fantastic work and has inspired others to help make a difference within their local communities.”

As part of the club’s activities, students have helped to serve lunch to elderly members of the local community for the past two years.

The club has seen students and staff complete at least two community service projects per year and has inspired young people to put their skills and talent to good use within the community.

Students regularly work with the Coningsby and Tattershall Lions Club to help run their fortnightly luncheon club.

Tessy Ojo, CEO at The Diana Award, said: “The Diana Award is proud to recognise incredible young people, like the Barnes Wallis Academy Interact Club, who have the confidence to stand up for what they believe.
